This is my one and only Teddy Bear from my childhood. I had him ever since I was a baby in the 1970's. My parents gave him to me, I am not sure how long he was around before he was given to me. I don't know what bear he is, but I named him "Mad Bear" when I was old enough to talk. He still looks mad to me after all of these years =)
Does anyone know what bear he is? And what he might be worth? He is priceless to me of course! Thanks so much for looking!
Some info about him~
He is unjointed
has no paw or foot pads and no claw stitching (Never did). He is from foot to top of ears about 15'' tall, he is also a skinny bear.

I have the same exact bear. He was given to me in 1969, my Aunt had him a while before that. I have always wanted to find out as much as I could about him, but there are no tags or anything. I wish you luck in finding out some info.
Thank You for letting me know! I would love to see a photo of yours, as I have only ever seen this one, and to know he has a twin out there somewhere is really cool! Thanks for Sharing!
I can't tell you about the lineage of your bear, but that I also have one exactly like it that was my first bear. I was born in '68. Unfortunately my mom died two years ago or I could ask her.
